The harm of homemade soapberry shampoo

Some people are not used to buying shampoo in the market because they will find that it has caused great damage to their scalp after using it and may cause a lot of dandruff. So they will choose to make their own shampoo at home. Most people will choose to use soap nuts to make their own shampoo. However, homemade soapnut shampoo has certain hazards. Let’s take a look at the hazards of homemade soapnut shampoo.

If you have sensitive skin or have never found a favorite shampoo on the market, you might as well try it yourself according to the method described below!

Step 1: Brush the soap nuts clean with a toothbrush and soak them in boiling water. If the soap nuts are too dry, they will not swell easily and will need to be soaked for 2-3 days to fully swell.

Step 2: Pound the swollen soap beans. The more swollen they are, the easier it is to pound them. Of course, it is best to use a stone pestle (for pounding pepper powder).

Add 10 times the amount of water to soapnuts and heat them. The soapnut water will bubble easily after boiling, so simmer on low heat before the water boils. Add some brown sugar (to help the beneficial microorganisms ferment after storage of the soapnut liquid), stir and simmer for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat when the soapnut liquid becomes thicker, let it cool, filter and bottle (use beverage bottles and shampoo bottles that friends don’t want, of course it’s best to use glass or porcelain bottles), and try to store it in the refrigerator when the temperature is not low. The soapnut liquid boiled for the first time is thicker and more suitable for washing.

Step 3: Add 3 times the water to the previous soapberry residue and stir and boil again. When it becomes thick, bottle it. The soapberry liquid can be used to liquidize hands and bowls, etc. It is best to store it in the refrigerator when the temperature is not low. Use the above method to try out the magical changes that homemade soapnut shampoo can bring to your hair quality.

In addition, if you like, you can add some ginger, rehmannia root, lotus leaf, angelica, etc. to the above method as a combination. Ginger can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Experts say that many scalp problems may be caused by scalp blockage, so if you have scalp problems, you must try it!
